"She smeared her blood on it so we know where she is." Rufus cast Fabian a look while crumpling the piece of paper attached to the arrow. "She's basically telling us to target her instead. Do you have any idea who is the person you shot the pebble to?"
Fabian shrugged indifferently. "I'm simply following His Grace's orders."
"There must be someone inside Grimsbanne with Her Grace." Rufus took a deep breath, throwing a pebble towards the guard towers. Unlike Fabian, Rufus' throws weren't as destructive. They were only enough to distract the people so Samael could enter Grimsbanne without a problem.
"Whatever. I'll just taunt Her Grace." Fabian tossed and caught a pebbled midair, closing his eyes as he tried to detect where Lilou was. "Maybe if we do this, we don't need to approach her. She will go to us, instead."
"His Grace will kill you this time, Fabian."
"Or he will forgive me."
